Players Championship 2024 prize money: How much are darts stars competing for at each tournament?
THE start of the 2024 season of the Players Championship is upon us.
30 tournaments will be played throughout the calendar year, with the new campaign kicking off in Wigan – where Luke Littler stunned the darts world again by hitting a nine-darter.
There will be 128 players in action at each of the 30 Players Championship tournaments.
The 128 PDC Tour Card holders usually fill up the spots, but should they withdraw or not register, the highest-ranked players on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit are invited to fill the vacant spaces.
At the end of the 30 tournaments, the top 64 stars in the Players Championship Order of Merit are invited to participate in the finals.
Teenage sensation Luke Littler will be in action this year after he became a PDC professional in January.
The 17-year-old will be in action alongside his Premier League Darts colleagues Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith, Nathan Aspinall, Luke Humphries, Rob Cross, Peter Wright and Gerwyn Price.
